The plan’s already madeEvery pin has the where, when and what. If it works for you, tap to join and hop into the chat. If not, no worries.

Good to know

Questions.

What is the events map?

A map in the Grounded Connections app full of informal meets hosted by members across the UK & Ireland. Tap a pin to see the plan and join.

I’m nervous about heading out alone. Can the map help?

It’s one of the most common reasons women join. Pick a meet, see the plan and head out with others instead of on your own. It’s a lovely way to build confidence in new places.

I work shifts. Will there be meets that suit me?

Hosts post plans for all sorts of days and times, and once you’ve found your feet you can host your own around your rota.

Who hosts the meets?

Our Ambassadors are trusted, verified members who’ve found their feet in the community. They pop plans on the map when they’re going somewhere anyway and would love company.

Are these guided or organised events?

No. They’re informal, member-led meets, not guided or professionally led. Know your limits, check the plan with the host and come prepared.

How many meets can I join?

As many as you like. Events on the map are unlimited and included in your membership.

I travel a lot. Can I use the map on the road?

Yes, it’s perfect for it. Whether you’re van lifing or just away for the weekend, check the map wherever you are or wherever you’re heading next. You can also pop your own plans on the map to meet new people along the way.

Are there gentle or accessible meets?

Yes. You can filter by activity and see the accessibility, and meets range from multi-day hikes to gentle walks, forages and coffee.

Can I bring my little ones or dog?

Yes. Filter for little-one-friendly and dog-friendly meets, or ask the host.

Can I host my own meets?

Once you’ve found your feet and joined a few connections and meets, you'll be able to apply to become a host, if approved you'll be able to pop your own plans on the map.
